Can I use Witch Hazel and Rose water toner as a ph neutralizer?

The instructions that come with the 20% Glycolic Peel are very specific, and tell you to rinse with a baking soda solution first, then pure water. I personally wouldn't use Witch Hazel afterwards, because it's very astringent and you've just given your skin a huge exfoliation. The rose water sounds good after the baking soda and pure water routine though, as it's much milder and neutral. That's just an opinion based on personal use.

Assuming you're referring to homebrewing; the directions state to use regular tap water for StarSan dilution. Iron and softner contents should not be a problem for sanitation as the acid will sanitize anything present in the water. To be on the safe side, just drain as much excess sanitizer off equiptment (do not rise) before use.

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the ph. I have been using the DMEA in my face creams and I am very happy with the product.

Absolutely. In fact, when using the full regiment with Retin-A, one must take breaks. You can't use the whole system forever. So, in my option and experience it is quite safe and recommendable to just use the face wash & toner. The toner will give you a healthy ph balance. Hope this helps. ;-)Mark S.

I love this product -- no breakouts of any kind. Also, mixed with witch hazel and apple cider vinegar, it works better than all of the commercial 'fruit acid' products. Rose water is very mild, and I have never had a problem with it.

sorry i dont think i can answer that for you cause i use it to get rid of some hyperpigment/tatoo i have. it does make your skin peel, if u purchase do dilute with water and have baking soda on hand. the baking soda will neutralize the acid. im not sure bout the scar depends on your skin type. im asian and it didnt help me with my hyperpigment at all. as for the scars im not sure.

Yes, you can use this after toner. The purpose of toner is to bring the PH of your skin back up so it can better accept a moisturizer after cleansing. So it's perfect to use after toner. And on the jar it says the PH of this cream is 5.5, which is what your skin is naturally - just one of the reasons this cream is better than most.

I plan to use delicate, hot water, bleach and soap, no softener, drip dry. I don't know manufacturer instructions.

Yes, but remember each stick is for something like a typical water bottle. So you may need a few of them in there...3 or 4... I first bought the "2G Budget Ionizer" which works to ionize one gallon using two gallons of water. It works best with either filtered, mineral or artisan waters..."NEVER USE TAP WATER".... The ionization process separates the chlorides and acids and over a few hours you have one side that's acidic and the other very alkaline. I've gotten my very best ORP Values from using the artisan water (-800 range) which is phenomenal for this homemade looking machine. I have a pH/ORP reader so that's how I know which water works best. Also, keep the freshly ionized water in a ceramic water dispenser to keep the high ORP value as long as possible...it lowers very fast and can get back to the positive ORP values (which is actually bad) within days. The optimal turnover is about 12 hours per the instructions, but I drink the gallon of water within a day so I would suggest like 3 - 4 hours will suffice if you will drink it within 24-36 hours time. Otherwise stick to the 12 hours. The acid water gallon side can be used for washing hair, or whatever acid water is good for. The acid gallon side will take on an extremely high smelling bleach scent (I have soaked my dish rags in that acid ionized water side overnight and it cleans them as if I put bleach in the water...go figure that this is what we drink from the faucet every day)... The sticks are gat but also work best when using the best waters, hence NOT TAP WATER... Good luck!

Yes, you will need a neutralizer. You can make a diy one out of 50/50 baking soda and water. Leave it ob for no longer than 8 min, wash off with cold water. I recommend a higher % for dark marks.

I don't know about using it as a toner, but all I do is cleanse my face, apply the serum and let it set in, then I put on my moisturizer followed by sunscreen!

I don't think it will function quite the same as a toner but you can certainly put moisturizer on top of the serum. I apply the serum after my toner or after washing my face and then apply moisturizer w sunblock on top. It's important to use sunscreen when using products that turn cells over as your skin becomes more photosensitive. This is a great product.

yes highly recommend baking soda and water as neutralizer to neutralize the acid otherwise you will regret. please do dilute with a bit of water its really strong I kid you not. I have been burn before by not diluting the product. Lucky for me I neutralize it with baking soda right away. I peel and scab for a week but i relentlessly apply neosporin on my burn and i didnt have any scarring. But i look horrid for over a week.

I believe all NG is ph balanced. I haven't noticed issues with color, but in use this for "clarifying" once a week, not everyday. If concerned for color, try the chamomile for color treated hair - works great for my brown ombred hair http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FADICW?pc_redir=1403644630&robot;_redir=1

Use Mineral Spirits. Laquer thinner is BAD stuff on some plastics and nervous systems

Yes. I usually use a generic toner. Both the standard and extended have been used and both work for me.

Hey farfl!Dickinsons Original Witch Hazel:Pore Perfecting Toner- contains all natural witch hazel that contains: Natural Grain Alcohol 14%).So it ISN'T Alcohol free but the natural grain alcohol used is different from synthetic chemical alcohols and is non- abrasive, non- drying, and aids in retaining moisture in the skin. So it shouldn't aggravate your skin. :-) For reference here is the ingredient list as posted on the back of the bottle: All natural witch hazel, containg Natural Grain Alcohol 14% and Witch Hazel Extract.Hope I helped!
